1200W in the trunk...UPDATE p2

[k3n12ock]

I bet if you built a new box, subs back port back, you'd hit in the mid 30s. BTW, seats fold down or no?

[TheBetterMethod]

Yeah it is a start. I just wish it was louder.

So do you guys think it is reasonably loud for what it is?

Does it have hidden potential, maybe it needs a better box?

I wish I had a Term Lab, or knew someone near me with one.

I figure the mic meter I'm using is a little hit or miss.

Seats fold down, but it's a smallish opening. And it's only one 12.

If it's actually capable of 130s, I'd definitely rebuild a new box for it.

Thanks guys!

...you do realize that 115db came from a MICROPHONE based meter.

Sub back port back will most likely get the loudest. And with 1200 watts you should get into the low to mid 30s. You and maby try a diferent sub to see what you like. With car audio, everything is realy trial and error. Just mess around with your setup untill it does what you want.

Dbdrag style. Don't believe me ask Ed Lester, twas his meter.

Pyle amplifier, one DD2512, and a small box tuned low.

Yeah, I'd make a bigger box, maybe 2 cubes instead.

It wasn't on a termlab so we can't say how loud it is.

It's a good sub, it will be the box letting you down.

There is a list of people with termlabs, maybe you can find somebody in your area, i can't remember what section it was under, maybe the SPL one?

I'd guess it is doing at least 125db now. And getting 130db is most likely possible. But don't get caught up on numbers, there are cars which are loud to the ear but suck on a termlab and some which do good numbers but don't sound loud if you sit in it.
